Sony PS3 update 2.50 gets DivX VOD
Filed under: Gaming, Sony Playstation 3
The Sony PS3 update 2.50 is now available and comes with a host of new features, one of which is DivX VOD. I have not had time to download my update yet, so will have to wait a while until I can see how good the update is.
Video on Demand’ is a digital video delivery service that lets you rent or purchase DivX movies from any of our licensed VOD partners. It is hoped that Sony will soon start to DivX for PS Store downloads, but that will be in the future.
Have you had a chance to download the Sony PS3 firmware update 2.50 yet, if so let us know what your thoughts are?
Sony PS3 Update 2.01: now get upset as no Divx or Xvid
I’ve just download the new Software for PS3 and have noticed a minor glitch,
The text boy you use on the web is slower and is quite annoying.
The PSN store has had a small change when it starts up,
the account settings dont go into the grey screen which is a bit faster to load
thats all i’ve noticed so far.
No I haven’t had a chance to download the newest PS3 update yet, It’s still morning here and I’m still at school, I’m looking forward to getting back home this afternoon and checking it out, the update looks promising with plenty of new worthwhile features.
However then again, I might wait a few days before I download the update, because remember what happened to 2.4 update this past summer ? Early adopters whom downloaded the update the day it came out, got they’re PS3 system fucked and they had to call Sony and have it replaced.
So perhaps I might wait until the updated becomes readily available and people report positive feedback.
On another note, the PS3 is finally catching up the the 360 in terms of productivity and features. The games are also getting better and chances are I’ll be buying the PS3 Headset and the SOCOM bundle tomorrow.
Thanks Sony for continuing to improve the PS3 and bringing it soaring at new heights !
By the way for anyone who would like to add me, my PSN is as follow :

Ran the update this morning (and the PSP one), everything fine, infact the XMB seems to be alot more responsive. Quite alot of tweaks and undocumented improvements. The browser seems faster, and flash9 is working well.
The trophy UI is much improved.
As for the 2.4 update problems, Jordan is making a mountain out of a molehill. Out of the 16million PS3’s out there, the number of console affected was tiny ( .00001%)
well i downloaded the new update and well im still annoyed that the fact the xbox 360 can still join game in session and we cant hopfully ps3/sony will make this possible in the next few months
what else does this update do i cant really see a dif apart from seein wen your friends were last on
my youtube plays sound but no picture . also txting is a shade slower. does your youtube work ?
d/l update all my media off my network no longer works!!!!!!!!!!!!!STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!
for scotty c. it also allows sequential video playbacks, a scene skip feature like the one on the psp, you can choose to turn off your ps3 if you go idle for 1 hour to 5 hours and it turns off the controller if its inactive for 3 minutes. and it makes account management and the profile more easy to manage.
i’m having trouble getting this update already tryed twice but it has an error is anyone else having trouble?
Error 33 Here
